Keeping workers safe on the job is easier said than done. But there are a few simple changes that can help make a big impact. For example, by developing a cleaner, more organized work environment, safety managers can help reduce injuries.

Warehouses should have clearly marked areas of operation. Whether it be a painted line running through the facility for forklift operation or a zone for working with potentially dangerous equipment, these demarcations help employees be aware of their surroundings.

Changing seasons means a whole slew of new dangers. Clear any leaves and ice before starting work to avoid any potential slips or falls. If any dangerous storms are rolling through town, it may be best to cancel work.
